PREFACE. 



Tlie following characteristics have been carefully regarded in preparing 

HALLOWED SONGS: 

1o embody the most popular Hymns and Tunes — new and old — carefully 
selected from the whole fountain of music, regardless of expense. 

THE MOST PREaOUS HYMNS, 

throwing out all that are sectarian and trifling, retaining only such as are hallowed and 
will grow better by use. 

WITHIN REACH OF ALL. 
We oflfer this book in thi-ee different forms, that is. Harmonized— Melody and Hymn 
Editions. Thus the choicest songs are brought within the reach of even the poorest Mis- 
sion schools See opposite page. 

MANY AUTHORS 
l\irnish their purest pieces, thereby giving more variety, and evading that musical monot- 
ony which characterizes the writings of any one author. 

MODERN FAVORITES, 

Embracing two hundred of the most popular tunes which the Christian public, and 
especially the rising generation, will ever love and hold dear. A few are mentioned be- 
low, any one of which is well worth the price of the book : 



Whiter than Snow {FiscJier) 

Almost Persuaded (Bliss) 

Pass Me ]S^ot (Doan) 

The Peniu-'nt (Allen) 

Over There ( 0''lLane) 

Rock of Ages (Hastings) 

My Days are Gliding (Hoot) 

Nearer, My God, to Thee (Masoji) 



Sweet By and Bv ( Webster) 

The Gate Ajar for Me ( Voil) 

I Am Coming, Lord, to Thee.. {Hartsough] 
How Can.l Keep from Singing. . . {Loiv-ry) 

Sing of His Mighty Love (Bradbury) 

Come, Come to Jesus (Mdin) 

Dear Jesus. Abide Thou with Me, .(C(imp) 

Sweeping through the Gates (PjUUips) 

More than two hundred of the good old 

STANDARD HYMNS, 

Bet to familiar tunes, are also included, so that Sunday or Bible-schools can use the more 
substantial hymns of sanctuary worship, and the children, thus growing up in their use, 
can also praise God with tlie great congregation. 

REQUEST. 

May I ask of the singing p^iblic a careful examination of Hallowed Songs as to the 
above points, or at least a glance at the Table of Contents, which I hereby respectfully 
3ubmit to the Christian public? 

Jamiary, 1874, PHILIP PHILLIPS.

HALLOWED SQHfiS. 

No's of the Hymns corresponding with the Harmonized and Melody Edition. 



No. 1. 

1 Holy Spirit, faithful Guide, 
Ever near the Christian's side ; 
Gently lead us by the hand, 
Pilgrims in a desert land. 
Weary souls fore'er rejoice, 

While they hear that sweetest voice ; 
Whisp'ring softly, wand'rer, come ! 
Follow Me, I'll guide thee home. 

2 Ever present, ti'uest friend, 
Ever near. Thine aid to lend, 
Leave us not to doubt and fear, 
Groping on in darkness drear. 
When the storms are raging sore. 
Hearts grow faint and hopes givei o'er 
Whisper softly, wanderer, come ! 
EoUow Me, I'll guide thee home. 

3 When our days of toil shall cease. 
Waiting still for sweet release, 
ISTothing left but heaven and prayer, 
Wondering if our names are there ; 
Wading deep the dismal flood. 
Pleading naught but Jesus' blood ; 
Whisper softly, wanderer come ! 
Follow Me, I'll guide thee home. 

ISTo. 3. 

1 While we walk with God in light, 
God our hearts doth still unite : 
Dearest fellowship we prove, — 
Fellowship in Jesus' love : 
Sweetly each, with each combined, 
In the bonds of duty join' d, 

Feels the cleansing blood applied, — 
Daily feels that Christ hath died. 

2 Still, O Lord, our faith increase; 
Cleanse from all unrighteousness; 
Thee the' unholy cannot see; 
Make, make us meet for Thee : 



Every vile affection kill ; 
Root'out every seed of ill; 
Utterly abolish sin ; 
Write Thy law of love within. 

TsTo. 3 

1 Oh ! do not let the word depart, 

And close thine eyes against the 

light; 
Poor sinner, harden not thy heart ; 
Thou wouldst be sav'd — Why not 

to-night ? 

2 To-morrow's sun may never rise 

To bless thy long-deluded sight ; 
This is the time ! oh, then be wise ! 
Thou wouldst be saved — Why not 
to-night ? 

3 The world has nothing left to give — 

It has no new, no pure delight ; 
Oh, try the life which Christians live ! 
Thou wouldst be saved — Why not 
to-night ? 

4 Our God in pity lingers still. 

And wilt thou thus His love requite ? 
Henounce at length thy stubborn will, 
Thou wouldst be saved — Why not 
to-night ? 
Our blessed Lord refuses none 

Who would to Him their souls unite ; 
Then be the work of grace begun ! 
Thou wouldst be saved — Why not 
to-night ?

He waits to Avelcome thee, 
O Wand'rer ! eagerly ;

2 Come, come to Jesus ! 
He waits to ransom thee, 
O Slave ! eternally ; 
Come, come to Jesus ! 

3 Come, come to Jesus ! 
He waits to lighten thee, 
O Burdened ! graciously ; 
Come, come to Jesus ! 

4 Come, come to Jesus ! 
He waits to ^ive to thee, 
O Blind ! a vision free ; 
Come, come to Jesus ! 

5 Come, come to Jesus ! 
He waits to shelter thee. 
O Weary ! blessedly ; 
Come, come to Jesus ! 

6 Come, come to Jesus ! 
He waits to carry thee, 
O Lamb ! so lovingly ; 
Come, come to Jesus !

1 There is a fountain filled with blood, 

DrawTi from Immanuel's veins, 
And sinners plunged beneath that 
flood 
Lose all their guilty stains. 

2 The dying thief rejoiced to see 

That fountain in his day ; 
And there may I, though vile as he, 
Wash all my sins away. 

3 E'er since by faith I saw the stream 

Thy flowing wounds supply, 
Redeeming love has been my theme. 
And shall be till I die. 

4 Then in a nobler, sweeter song 

I'll sin^ Thy power to save. 
When this poor, lispering, stammering 
Lies silent in the grave. [tongue 

IVo. 6. 

1 Wouldst thou be sav'fl ? no time to lose ; 
Arise, and run the heavenly road ; 

Wouldst thou be blest; then, pilgrim, 

haste 

To leave destruction's dread abode. 

Cho. (O come !) O come ! the Saviour calls, 

"I am the way, the truth the life ;'' 

Come hither, burdened soul to Me. 

2 Oh, tell me howl oh, tell me where! 
The way I long have sought to know ; 
But fear the ^uilt and sin I bear 

Will sink me m the depths of woe. Cho. 



3 God's word will guide thee; dost thou 
A light from yonder distant hill ? [see 
On, Pilgiim, on ! it shines for thee, 
With steady course pursue it still. Cho. 

4 Grod's word shall guide me; yes, I sec 
A light from i^onder distant hill; 

Oh, tell me, does it shine for me? 
Hail, glorious light ! I will, I will ! Cho. 

5 Farewell, a long farewell to those 
Who seek to stay me as I fly ; 

My ears against their call I close, 
Lite, life, eternal life ! my cry. Cho, 

iN^o. r. 

1 I now have found abiding rest. 

For which I long was sighing: 
Now on my Saviour's faithful breast 

My weary head is lyin^ : 
This is the place where sm no more, 

And death and hell alarm me ; 
I now am safe, by Jesus' power. 

From all that else would harm me. 

2 He whispers me — "I'm wholly thine, 

And thou art mine forever ; 
Heuceforth all fear and doubt resiga, 

Confiding in my favour ; 
Thy every want shall find supply 

From my exhaustless treasure ; 
I'U fill thy spirit with my joy. 

The pledge of endless pleasure." 

3 From Jesus and His love, who now. 

By terrors to divide me, 
Mv great and many sins would show ! 

His wounds from vengeance hide me : 
Mv sins are great — I'll not despair. 

Though conscience, too, arraigns me, 
ISTor doubt my Saviour's watchful 
care — 

His arms of love sustain me. 

4 I thauk thee, God's beloved Son, 

Thy boundless grace adoring, 
Which brought thee from Thy glorious 
throne. 
Our peace with God restoring ; 
Oh, make my heart a shrine, where 
peace 
Shall keep her constant dwelling! 
Where i^rateful praise shall never 
Abroad Thy glories telling, [cease, 

IVo. S. 

1 Oh, there is a river whose fresh waters 

flow 
O'er earth's broadest surface, a cure for 

all woe ; 



(2.) 



Its streams are all healing, there's life in 

each wave, 
Oh, try it, and prove it, 'tis mighty to save 

2 Oh, drink of this river, its full crystal 

flood 
Eefreshes and lightens of sin's weary 

load ; 
Its ripples ne'er mix with the billows of 

strife, 
This is the "Pure River of Water of 

Life." 

3 This beautiful river our b oast well may 

be, 

'Tis fresh, overflowing, and better, 'tis 
free ; 

The sin-sick rejoice in this "peace- 
speaking" tide, 

This river is Jesus, the " once crucified. 

2Vo. O. 

1 Alas ! and did my Saviour bleed ! 

And did my Sovereign die ? 
"Would He devote that sacred head 

For such a worm as I ? 
Cho. Jesus died for you ; 
Jesus died for me ; 
Yes, Jesus died for all mankind,. 
Eless God, salvation's fi'ee. 

2 "Was it for crimes that I had doaie^ 

He groaned upon the tree ? 
Amazing pity ! grace unknown ! 
And love beyond degree. — Ck<D. 

3 Well might the sun in darkness hide. 

And shut his glories in, 
"When Christ, the mighty Maker^ died, 
y or man,, the creature's sin. — Cho. 

4 Thus might I bide my blushing face 
, While His dear Cross appears ; 
Bissdve-my heart in thankfulness. 

And melt mine eyes to tears. — Cho. 

5 But drops of grief can ne'^er repay 

The debt of love I owe : 
Here, Lord, I give myself away, 
Tis all that I can do. — Cho. 

I^o. lO. 

1 Lord, I hear of show'rs of blessings. 
Thou art scatt'ring full and free; 

Show'rs the thirsty land refreshing, 
Let some droppings fall on me — 
Even me. 

2 Piassme not, O God, my Father, 
Sinful though my heart may be ; 

Thou might' st leave me,but the rather, 



Let Thy mercy fall on me— 
Even me. 

3 Pass me not, O gracious Savionr, 
Let me live and cling to Thee ; 

Fain I'm longing for Thy favour ; 
Whilst tliou'rt calling, call for mo — 
Even me. 

4 Pass me not, O mighty Spirit, 
Thou canst make the blind to see : 

Witnesses of Jesus' merit. 
Speak the woitl of power to me — 
Even me. 

5 Love of God, so pure and changeless ; 
Blood of Christ, so rich and free ; 

Grace of God, so rich and boundless, 
Magnify it all in me — 
Even me. 

6 Pass me not. Thy lost one bringing : 
Bind my heart, O Lord, to Thee ; 

Whilst the streams of life are springing, 
Blessing others, O, bless me — 
Even me.

Yes, all the debt I owe.

Stoop' d down to do and die. 

Every thing was fully done ;

1 In the cross of Christ I glory, 
Towering o'er the wrecks of time ; 

All the light of sacred story 
Gathers round its head sublime. 

2 When the woes of life o'ertake me, 
Hopes deceive, and fears annoy, 

Never shall the cross forsake me : 
Lo ! it glows with peace and joy. 

3 When the sun of bliss is beaming 
Light and love upon my waj', 

From the cross the radiance streaming 
Adds new lustre to the day. 

4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, 
By the cross are sanctified ; 

Peace is there, that knows no measure, 
Joys that through all time abide.

1 Pilgrim, burdened with thy sin, 
Come the way to Zion's gate ; 

There, till Mercy let thee m. 

Knock and weep, and watch and wait ; 
Knock — He knows the sinner's cry ; 

Weep — He loves the mourner's tears ; 
"Watch — for saving ^race is nigh ; 

Wait — till heavenly light appears. 

2 Hark ! it is the Bridegroom's voice : 
Welcome, pilgrim, to thy rest ; 

Now within the gate rejoice, 

Safe and sealed, and bought and blest : 
Safe— from all the lures of vice ; 

Sealed — by signs the chosen know; 
Bought — by love and life the price; 

Blest — the mighty debt to owe. 

3 Holy pilgrim ! what for thee 
In a" world like this remain ? 

Prom thy guarded breast shall dee 
Pear an (1 shame, and doubt and pain: 

Pear — the hope of heaven, shall fly ; 
Shame — from glory's view retiie ; 

Doubt — in certain rapture die ; 
Pain — in endless bliss expire.

1 Watchman, tell us of the night. 

What its signs of promise are. 
Trav'ler, o'er yon mountain's height 

See the glory-beaming star. 
Wat<;hmau, does its beauteous ray 

Au_o ht of hope or joy foretell I 
Trav'ler, yes, it brings the day— 

Promised day of Israet 



2 Watchman, tell us of the night; 

Hioher yet that star ascends.

Watchman, will its beams, alone, 

Gild the spot that gave them birth ?

See, it bursts o'er all the earth.

1 My life flows on in endless song ; 
Above earth's lamentation 

1 catch the sw^et, tho' far-otf hymn, 
That hails a new creation. 

Thro' all the tumult and the strife 

I hear the music ringing ; 
It finds an echo in my soul — 

How can I keep from singing ? 

2 What though my joys and comfort die ? 
The Lord my Saviour liveth ; 

What though the darkness gather round? 

Songs in the night He giveth. 
Xo storm can shake my inmost calm 

While to that refuge clinojing ; 
Since Christ is Lord of heav n and earth, 

How can I keep from singing ? 

3 I lift my eyes ; the cloud grows dim ; 
I see the blue above it ; 

And day by day this pathway smoothes, 
Since first I learned to love it. 

The peace of Christ makes fresh my 
A fountain ever springing ; [heart, 

All things are mine since I am His — 
How can I keep from singing ? 

IS^o. 16. 

1 Abide with me ; fast falls the eventide : 
The darkness deepens ; Lord, with me a- 

bide ; 
When other helpers fail, and comfits 

flee. 
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me. 

2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little 
day ; 

Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass a- 

way; 
Change and decay in all around I see 
Thou who changest not — abide with 

me. 

3 Thou on my head in early youth didst 

smile, 
And, though rebellious and perverse 

meanwhile, 
Thou hast not left me oft as I left Thee ; 
On to the close, O Lord, abide with me.

4 I need Thy presence every passing 

hour, 

What but Thy grace can foil the temp- 
ter's power ; 

"WTio like Thyself my guide and stay 
can be, 

Through clouds and sunshine — oh, a- 
bide with me. 

5 Hold on Thy cross before my closing 

eyes ; 
Shine through the gloom, and point me 

to the skies ; 
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's 

vain shadows flee, 
In life and death, O Lord, abide with me.

And my heart has waited long ;

Be wholly Thine.

Strength to my fainting heart, 

My zeal inspire : 
As Thou hast died for me 
Oh, may my love to Thee 
Pure, warni, and changeless be — 

A living fire.

And griefs around me spread, 

Be Thou my guide ;

And wait for Thee, sweet hour of

To seize the everlasting prize ;

Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of

Before Thy feet with them to bow. 

Though vilest of them all: 
But — can I bear the piercing thought ? — 
What if my name should be left out,

Tune my heart to sing Thy grace ; 

Streams of mercy, never ceasing, 
Call for songs of loudest praise ; 

Teach me some melodious sonnet, 
Sung by flaming tongues above ; 

Praise the mount — I'm iixed upon it ; 
Mount of Thy redeeming love.

Hither by Thy help I'm come ; 

And I hope, by Thy good pleasure, 

Safely to arrive at home. 
Jesus sought me when a stranger, 

Wand'ring from the fold of God ; 
He, to rescue me from danger. 

Interposed His precious blood.

Daily I'm constrained to be ! 

Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, 
Bind my wand'ring heart to Thee : 

Prone to wander. Lord, I feel it, — 
Prone to leave the God I love ; 

Here's my heart, oh, take and seal it; 
Seal it foT Thy courts above. 

1 Saviour ! visit Thy plantation ; 

Grant us, Lord ! a gracious rain : 
All will come to desolation, 

Unless Thou return again. 
Keep no longer at a distance ; — 

Shine upon us from on high, 
Lest, for want of Thine assistance. 

Every plant should droop and die. 

2 Let our mutual love be fervent, 

Make us prevalent in prayers ; 
Let each one, esteemed Thy servant, 

Shun the world's enticing snares. 
Break the tempter's fatal power; 

Turn the stony heart to flesh ; 
And begin, from this good hour, 

To revive Thy work afresh.

Be the Guardian of our way ; 

Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us, 



Seek ns when we go astray. 

Blessed Jesus, 
Hear, oh, hear us, when we pray.

Poor and sinful though we be ;

Grace to cleanse, and power to free.

I did not love my home, 

I did not love my JFather's voice, 
I lov'd afar to roam.

The Father sought His child : 

They followed me o'er vale and hill, 
O'er deserts waste and wild: 

They found me nigh to death, 
Famish'd, and faint, and lone ; 

They bound me with the bands of love. 
They saved the wandering one.

In notes almost divine.

My ransom from the dreadful guilt 

Of sin and wrath divine :

In which all perfect, heavenly dress 

My soul shall ever shine.

Exalted on His throne ;

Salvation ! — O salvation ! 

The joyful sound proclaim, 
Till- earth's remotest nation 

Has learued Messiah's name. 

4 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story. 

And you, ye waters, roll. 
Till, like a sea of glory, 

it spreads from pole, to pole ; 
Till o'er our ransom'd nature 

The Lamb for sinners slain, 
Redeemer, King, Creator, 

In bliss returns to reign.

1 The morning light is breaking ; 

The darkness disappears ; 
The sons of earth are waking 

To penitential tears : 
Each breeze that sweeps the ocean 

Brings tidings from afar. 
Of nations in commotion, 

Prepar'd for Zion's war. 

2 See heathen nations bending 

Before the God we love, 
And thousand hearts ascending 

In gratitude above ; 
While sinners, now confessing. 

The gospel call obey, 
And seek the Saviour's blessing — 

A nation in a day. 

3 Blest river of salvation. 

Pursue Thy onward way ; 

Flow Thou to every nation, 
iTor in Thy richness stay: 

Stay not till all the lowly- 
Triumphant reach their home : 

Stay not till all the holy 
Proclaim — " The Lord is come ! "

1 To the hall of the feast came the sin- 

ful and fair, 
She heard in the city that Jesus was 

there ; 
Unheeding the splendour that blaz'd 

on the board. 
She silently knelt at the feet of the 

Lord. 

2 The frown and the murmur went 

round through them all. 
That one so unhallowed should tread 

in that hall ; 
And some said the poor would be ob- 
jects more meet. 
As the wealth of her perfume she 
showered on His feet. 

3 She heard but the Savioirr — she spoke 

but with tears ; 
She dared not look up to the heaven 
of His eyes, 



And the hot tears gushed forth at 
each heave of her breast. 

As her lips to His sandals were throb- 
bingly pressed. 

4 In the sky after tempest, as shineth 

the bows, 
In the glai-e of the sunbeams as melt- 

eth the snows, 
He looked on the lost one, "her sins 

were forgiven,"

A balm for ev'ry wounded breast, —

2 There is a home for weary souls 
By sin and sorrow driven. 

When tossed on life's tempestuous shoals 
Where storms arise and ocean rolls, 
And all is drear but heaven. 

3 There faith lifts up the tearless eye, 
To brighter prospects given ; 

And views the tempest passing by, 
The evening shadows quickly 1iy, 
And all serene in heaven.

And joys supreme are given ; [bloom. 

There rays divine disperse the gloom ; 
Beyond the confines of the tomb 
Appears the dawn of heaven.

Oh, when shall we enter our rest, — 

Return to the Ziou above, 

The mother of spirits distressed ; — 
That city of God the areat King, 

Where sorrow and death are no more, 
Where saints our Immanuel sing. 

And cherub and seraph adore? 

2 But angels themselves cannot tell 
The joys of that holiest place, 

Where Jesus is pleased to reveal 
The light of His heavenly face : 

When, caught in the rapturous fiame, 
The sight beatific they prove ; 

And walk in the light of the Lamb, 
Enjoying the beams of His love.

When Jesus no longer I see ! 

Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet

Have all lost their sweetness to me ; 
The midsummer sun shines but dim. 

The fields strive in vain to look gay ; 
Uut when I am happy in Him, 

December's as pleasant as May. 

2 His Name yields the richest perfume. 
And sweeter than music his voice ; 

His presence disperses my gloom. 
And makes all within me rejoice : 

I should, were He always thus nigh, 
Have nothing to wish or to fear ; 

;N'o mortal so happy as I, — 
My summer would last all the year. 

3 Content with beholding His face. 
My all to His pleasure resign' d, 

Ko changes of season or place 

Wouhtmake any change in my mind: 

While blest with a sense of His love, 
A palace a toy would appear ; 

And prisons would palaces prove, 
If Jesus would dwell with me there. 



2 What though the tempest rage, 

Heaven is my home ; 
Short is my pilgrimage, 

Heaven is my home. 
Time's cold and wintry blast 

Soon will be overpast ;

he has tried) 
The heart-cheering promise, — The

Yisit us with Thy salvation ; 

Enter every trembling heart.

Bring us to eternal day.

Treasures never waxing old. 

Let our best affections centre 
On the things around the throne :

Moth and rust are there unknown.

Bids us triumiDh in His love.

And our loins be girded round. 

Waiting for our Lord's returning, — 
Longing for the welcome sound. 

Thus the Christian life adorning, 
N'ever need we be afraid, 

Should He come at night or morning, 
Early dawn, or evening shade.

Naught cau harm us, naught can harm 
While we thus in Thee abide. [us,

Bound us, when there's evil near; 

May we hide beneath the cover 
Of Thy wings, in time of fear ; 

And in sori-ow, and in sorrow, 
Comfort our sad hearts, and cheer.

And we sink beneath His might, 

May the blessed morn awake us, 
Safe in yonder realms of light ; 

There forever, there forever.

heaven above, or that is in the earth be- 
neath, or that is in the water under the 
earth : Thou shalt not bow down thy-

eration of them that hate me ; and show- 
ing mercy unto thousands of them that 
love me and keep my commandments.

bath of the Lord thy God ; in it thou 
shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy 
son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, 
nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor 
the stranger that is within thy gates : 
For in six days the Lord made heaven 
and earth, the sea, and all that in them 
is, and rested the seventh day : where- 
fore the Lord blessed the sabbath-day 
and hallowed it.

In the rough and rugged way,

Losing sight, in human blindness, 

Of the crown above the cross.

The joy and desire of my heart, 
For closer communion I pine ; 
I long to reside where Thou art. 
CHO.-My will to Thine owti I resign, 
And gladly forsake all for Thee 
Now, Saviour, I know I am Thine, 
Dear Jesus, abide Thou with me.

Where all,who their Shepherd obey. 
Are fed, on Thy bosom reclined. 
And screened from the heat of the

There only, I covet to rest ; [flock, 
To lie at the foot of the rock. 
Or rise to be hid in Thy breast. Cho.

And never a moment depart, — 
Concealed in the cleft of Thy side. 
Eternally held in Thy heart. Cho.

cease ; 
The blood of atonement apply ; 
And to Thyself lead me for peace, — 
The Rock that is higher than I.

Then rule o'er the heart Thou hast 
won; 
Nor again in Thine anger depart, 
But make it forever Thy throne.

1 Often, as we travel onward, 

T'ward the happy, better land, 
"Where our dear ones, gone before us, 

Stretch to us a beckoning hand, 
We grow weary with our trials, 
And our bitter pain and loss, 
And forget, in human weakness. 
There's a crowTi above the cross.

Oh, be strong to do and sufi:er ! 

After labor cometh rest : 
After pain and soriow — gladness 

To the weary, weary breast. 
After earth, the peace of heaven. 

And the life made free from dross ; 
After night the golden morning, 

And the crown above the cross.

"Almost persuaded," harvest is past J 
"Almost persuaded," doom comes at

Ye wand'rers, come ; 
Oh, ye benighted souls. 
Why longer roam ?

Oh, listen now ; 
Within these sacred walls 
To Jesus bow.

Calling each one by his name ; 

His voice to each loving heart reacheth.

Vinedressers' nurture and care ; 
Or go where the white harvest standeth, 

The joy of the reaper to share. 
CHO.-Then work, brothers, work ! let

The light of this life shall be dark-

Bid them their lives to amend ; 

Go, point the lost world to the Saviour, 

And be to the friendless a friend.

Sooth' d by the pity of thine ; 
By wayside, if wounded ones languish. 
Go pour in the oil and the wine. Cho.

Over the valleys may sweep — 

For God's patient workers hereafter 
Shall laugli when the enemies weep.

Press on your chivalrous waj" — 

The mightiest PhilLstine ^ant 
His Davids are charter' d to slay. Cho. 

4 Work for the good that is nighest ; 
Dream not of greatness afar ; 

That glory is ever the highest. 
Which shines upon men as they are. 

Work, tho' the world would defeat you; 
Heed not its slander and scorn ; 

Nor wearj' till angels shall greet yon 
With smiles through the gates of the 
morn. Cho. 

5 Offer thy life on the altar ; 

In the high purpose be strong; 
And if the tired spirit should falter. 

Then sweeten thy labour with song, 
What, if the poor heart complaineth. 

Soon shall its wailing be o'er ; 
For there, in the rest which remaineth, 

It shall grieve and be weary no more.

Amen, so let it be ; 
Life from the dead is in that word : 

'Tis Immortality,

Absent from Him I roam ;

A day's march nearer home ; 
Nearer home, nearer home, 

A day's march nearer home.

Home of mv soul, how near, 
At times, to faith's aspiring eye 

Thy golden gates appear ! 
Ah. tnen my spirit faints 

To reach the land I love ; 
The bright inheritance of saints — 

Jerusalem above ; 
Home above, home above, 

Jerusalem above. 

3 Yet doubts still intervene. 

And all my comfort flies : 
Like Noah's dove, I flit between

Rough seas and stoiTay skies ; 
Anon the clouds depart, 

The wind and waters cease, 
"While sweetly o'er my gladdened 

Expands the how of peace; [heart 
Bow of peace, how of peace, 

Expands the bow of peace. 
I So, when my latest breath 

Shall rend the vail in twain. 
By death I shall escape from death, 

And life eternal gain : 
Knowing as I am known. 

How shall I love that word, 
And oft repeat before the throne, 

"Eorever with the Lord;" 
With the Lord, with the Lord, 

' ' Eorever with the Lord. ' '

But\hen I am the Saviour's Lamb, 

And He will not neglect me. 
Then all the time I'll try to climb 

This holy hill of Zion, 
For I am sure the way is pure. 

And on it comes " lio lion." Oho.

And climb this hill together ; 
And as we walk we'll sweetly talk, 

And sing as we go thither.

Of the shining-robed immortals.

Kudely taken from our bosom,

Feeling all our hopes have perished 

With the flower we cherished so. Cho.

From our rest to Home, sweet Home.

1 When we hear the music ringing 
In the bright celestial dome, 

When sweet angel voices singing 

Gladly bid us Avelcome home, 
To the land of ancient story, 

Where the spirit knows no care. 
In that land of light and glory. 

Shall we know each other there? 
Clio. -Shall we know each other ? 
Shall we know each other ? 
Shall we know each other ? 
Shall we know each other there ? 

2 When the holy angels meet us. 
As we go to join their band, 

Shall we know the friends that greet us 

In the glorious spiiit land ? 
Shall we see the same eyes shining 

On us, as in days of yore ? 
Shall we feel their dear arms twining 

Fondly round us, as before ? Cho. 

3 Yes. my earth- worn soul rejoices. 
And my weary heart grows light, 

For the thrilling angel voices 

And the angel faces bright, 
That shall welcome us in heaven 

Are the loved of long ago. 
And to them 'tis kindly given 

Thus their mortal friends to know. 

Cho. 

4 Oh ! ye wearer, sad and tossed ones, 
Droop not, faint not by the way ; 

Ye shall ioin the loved and just ones 

In the land of perfect day I 
Harp-strings touched by angel fingers 

Murmured in my raptured ear. 
Evermore their sweet song lingers 

"We shall know each other there."

Without His sov'reign grace.

And perish only there.

And saw His s^ory shine ;

And when tlie morn the light reveals, 
Ko light to me returns.

Thy testimonies sure ; 
The statutes of Thy realms are right, 
And Thy commandment pure. 

2 Let these, O G-od, my soul convert, 

And make Thy servant wise : 
Let these be gladness to my ears, — 
The day-spring to mine eyes. 

3 By these may I be warned betimes ; 

Who knows the guile within ? 
Lord, save me from, presumptuous 
Cleanse me from secret sin. [crimes;

Though but a single day ? 
This hour may fix our final doom, 
Tho' strong, and young, and gay.

This only is our own : 
The past, alas ! is all a dream ; 
The future is unknown. 

3 Oh, think what vast concerns depend 

TJpon a moment's space, 
When life and all its cares shall end 
In vengeance or in grace !

Where sin, and giief, and death depart, 
And pleasures never die.

My dawning is begun ; 
Thou art my soul's bright morning 
And Thou' my rising sun, [star,

With beams of sacred bliss,

If Jesus shows His mercy mine. 
And whispers I am His.

At that transporting word, 
Run up with joy the shining way. 
To see and praise my Lord.

Where Thou dost answer prayer ; 
There humbly fall before Thy feet, — 
Tor none can perish there.'

With this I venture nigh ; 
Thou callest burdened souls to Thee, 
And such, Lord, am I. 

3 0, wondrous love ! — to bleed and die, 

To bear the cross and shame, 
That guilty sinners, such as I, 
Might ijlead Thj^ gracious name. 

TsTo. 277. 

1 Lord, I believe a rest remains 

To all Thy people known ; 
A rest where pure enjoyment reigns, 
And Thou art loved alone. 

2 A rest where all our soul's desire 

Is fixed on things above ; 
Where fear, and sm, and grief expire. 
Cast out by perfect love. 

3 Oh, that I now the rest might know. 

Believe, and enter in : 
Now, Saviour, now the power bestow. 
And let me cease from sin. 

4 Kemove this hardness from my heart. 

This unbelief remove ; 
To me the rest of faith impart, — 
The sabbath of Thy love.

When God recalls His own, 
And bids them leave a world of woe 
Por an immortal cro\vn ? 

2 Is not e'en death a aain to those 

Whose life to God was given ? 
Gladly to earth their eyes they close, 
To open them in heaven. 

3 Their toils are past, their work is done, 

And they are fully blest : 
They fought the tight, the vict'ry won, 
And entered into rest, 

4 Then let our sorrows cease to flow, 

God has recalled His own ; 
But let our hearts, in every woe. 
Still say,— Thy will be done.

The falling of a tear,— 

The upward glancing of an eye, 
AVhen none but God is near.

That infant lii)s can try ; 

Prayer, the sublimest strains that reach 
The Majesty on high.

Where is the soul refreshing view 
Of Jesus and His word ?

How sweet their mem'ry still ! 
But they have left an aching void 
The world can never fill.

And drove thee from my b^^east.

The'appointed hour makes haste.

How could I bear to hear Thy voice 
Pronounce the word, — Depart !

Would so torment my ear, 
'T would tear my soul asunder. Lord, 
With most tormenting fear.

And yet forbid to die ; 

To linger in eternal pain. 

And death forever fly I

To see my God remove,

I must not taste His love.

The narrow road that loads to God ? 
Or can I love this earth so well.

Urged you to embrace His love.

Praises to our God belong :

Praises to the heavenly King,

Flow around this happy land : 
Kept by Him, no foes annoy ; 
Peace and freedom we enjoy.

Ever own and worship God.

1 Praise to God, immortal praise, 
For the love that crowns onr days ; 
Eounteous source of every joy, 
Let Thj' praise our tongue employ. 

2 For the blessin^^s of the field, 
Eoi' the stores the gardens yield ; 
For the joy which harvests bring, 
Grateful praises now we sing. 

3 Clouds that drop refreshing dews ; 
Suns that genial heat diffuse ; 
Flocks that whiten all the plain ; 
Yellow sheaves of ripened grain ; 

4 All that spring, with bounteous hand, 
Scatters o'er the smiling land : 

All that liberal autumn pours 
From her overliowing stores.

Like the beams of morning, fly, 
Take the wonder-working rod ; 
Wave the banner cross on high. 

2 Go to many a tropic isle 

In the bosom of the deep, 
"Where the skies forever smile. 
And th'opi)ressed forever weep. 

3 O'er the pagan's night of care 

Pour the living light of heaven ; 
Chase away his wild despair ; 
Bid him hope to be forgiven. 

4 Where the golden gates of day 

Open on the palmy East, 
High the bleeding cross display ; 
Spread the Gospel's richest feast.

1 Jesus, lover of my soul. 

Let me to Thy bosom fly, 
While the nearer waters roll, 

While the tempest still is high ; 
Hide me, O my Sa^dour, hide, 

Till the storm of life is past ; 
Safe into the haven guide, 

Oh, receive my soul at last. 

2 Other refuge have I none ; 

Haugs mv helpless soul on Thee: 
Leave, oli, leave me not alone ; 

Still support and comfort me: 
All my trust on Thee is staj-'d ; 

All my help from Thee I bring; 
Cover my defenceless liead 

"With the shadow of Thj^ wing. 

3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want : 

More than all in Thee I find : 
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, 
Heal the sick, and lead the blind; 



Just and holy is Thy name ; 

I am all unrighteousness ; 
Palse, and full "of sin I am ; 

Thou art full of truth and grace. 

4 Plenteous grace with Thee I found— 

Giace to cover all my sin ; 
Let the healing streams abound ; 

Make and keep me pure within. 
Tliou of life the fountain art ; 

Freely let me think of Thee ; 
Spring Thou up within my heait , 

E,ise to all eternity.

1 Come, and let us sweetly join, 

, Christ to praise in hymns divine: 
Give we all, with one accord, 
Glory to our common Lord : 
Hands, and hearts, and voices raise ; 
J^ing as in the ancient days ; 
Ante-date the joys above, — 
Celebrate the feast of love. 

2 Stiive we, in affection strive ; 
Let the j)urer liame revive ; 
Su(;h as in the martyrs glow'd, 
Dyiu^ champions fcir their God : 
AVe like them may live and love; 
Caird we are their joys to prove; 
Saved with them from future wrath ; 
Partners of like precious faith. 

3 Sing we then in Jesus' ISTame, 
Now as yesterday the same ; 
One in every time and place, 
Pull for all of truth and grace : 
We for Christ, our Master, stand, 
Lights in a benighted land : 

We our dying Lord confess ; 
We are Jesus' witnesses.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have 
turncfl every one to his own way; and the Lord 
hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. — Isa. liii, 16. 

For God so loved the world that he gave his onlu he- 
gotten Son, that ivkosoever believelh in him should not 
perish, hut have everlasting life. — John iii, 16. 

The whole head is sick, and the whole heart 
faint. From the sole of the foot even unto the head 
there is no soundness in :t ; but wounds, and bruises, 
and putrifying sores. — Tsaiah i, 5, 6. 

When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that 
are whole have no need of the physician, but thev that 
are sick ; I came not to call the righteous, but sinners 
to repentance. — Mark ii, 17. 

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which 
are these : Adultery, fornication, un cleanness, las- 
civiousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, 
emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, hei-esies, enwings, 
murders, drankenuess, revelini,'s, and such like: of 
the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in 
time past, that they which do such things shall not 
inherit the kingdom of God. 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long- 
suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, tem- 
perance ; against such there is no law. And they that 
are Chrif.t^s have crucified the flesh with the affections 
and lasts. — Galatians v, 19-24. 

All have sinned, and come short of the glory of 
God. — Romans iii, 23.

eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.— Romatss 
vi, 38. 

And so death passed upon all men, for that all 
have sinned. — E,omans v, 12. 

Tfiis is a faithful saying, and worthy of all accepta- 
tion, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sin- 
ners. — 1 TiMOTHX i, 15.

Create in me a clean heart, O God ; and renew n 
right spirit within me. Cast -ne not aw.ay from thy 
presence; and take not thy Holy Spirit from me. — 
Psalm li, 10, U. 

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit 
will I put within you; and I will take away the stony 
heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of 
flesh. — EzHKiEL xxxvi, 26. 



Hear my prayer. O Lord, and let my cry come unto 
thee. Hide not tny face from me in the day when I 
am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me ; in the day 
when I call, answer me speedily. — Psalm di, 1, 9.

standing : I am come into deep waters, where the 
floods overflow me. — Psalm Ixix, 1, 2. 

When thou passest through the waters, I will be with 
thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow 
thee : when thou walketh through the fire, thou shalt not 
be burned ; neither shall the jiame kindle iipon thee. 
For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, 
thy Saviour. — Isaiah xliii, 2, 3. 

3fy God shall supply all your need according to his 
riches in glory by Christ Jems. — Philippians i'v, 19. 

PSALM 146. 

Praise ye the Lord. 

Peaise the Lord, my soul. 

While I live will I praise the Lord : _ 

I will sing praises unto my God while I have any 
being. 

Put not your trust in princes, 

JVbr in the son of man, in whom there is no help. 

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; 

In that very day his thoughts perish. 

Happy is he that hath the God of .Tacob for his help, 

Whose hope is in the Lord his God : 

Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all 
that therein is. 

Tf-^ich keepeth truth forever : 

Which execnteth judgment for the oppressed : 

Which givethfood to the hungry. 

The Lord looseth the prisriners : 

The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind : 

The Lord raiseth them that are bowed down : 

The Lord loveth the righteous. 

The Lord preserveth the strangers : He relieveth 
the fatherless and widow : 

Biit the way of the wicked he turnetJi upside down. 

The Lord shall reign forever, even thy God, O 
Zion, unto all generations. 

Praise ye the Lord.

until he find it? And when he halh found it, he 
layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he 
Cometh home, he calleth together his friends and 
neighbors, saying unto them. Rejoice with me; for I 
have found my sheep which was lost. 

J say unto you, that likewise joy shall he in heaven 
over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety 
and nine just persons, which need no repentance. —

fori have found the piece which, I had lost. — Luke

DUTIES AND MOTIVES. 

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath 
appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying un- 
godliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, 
righteously, and godly, in this present world ; 

Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious ap- 
pearance of the great God and our Saviour Jesus 
Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem 
us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a pecul- 
iar people, zealous of good works. — Titus ii, 11-14. 

Be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but 
in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to 
enjoy; that they do good, that they l.e rich in good 
Avorks, ready to distribute, willing to communicate. 
— 1 Timothy vi, 17, IS. 

Let your conversation be without covetousness ; and 
be content with such things as ye have ; for He hath

also. — John xiv. 2, 3.

2 CORINTHIAXS V, 1. 

After this, I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude 
which no man could number, of all nations, and 
kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the 
throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white 
robes, and palms in their iiands; and cried with a 
loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which 
sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, And 
all the angels stood round about the throne, and 
about the eiders and the four beasft, and fell before 
the throne on their faces, and worshiped God, saying, 
Amen : Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanks- 
giving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto 
our God for ever and ever. Amen. 

These are they which came out (f great tribulation 
and have wasfied their robes, and made them white 
in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before 
the throne of God, and serve him da'/ and night in 
his temple: and He that slttcth on the throne shall 
dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, 
neither thirst anu more ; neither shall the sun light on 
them, nor amj heat. For (he Lamb which is in the 
midit of (he throne shall feed them, and shall lead 
them unto living fountains of waters : and God shall 
wipe away all tears from their eyes. — Revelation 
vii, 9-17. 

There shall in no wise enter into it any thing thit 
defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination 
or maketha lie ; but they which are written in the 
Lamb's book of life. — Revelation xxi, 27. 

A7id the city hath no need of the sun, neither of th4 
moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten 
it, and the Lamb is tKe light thereof .—K^v . xxi, 23.
